The University of Hawaii has canceled a Stevie Wonder concert after learning the event wasn't authorized by the artist or his representatives.

The Aug. 18 show was scheduled to benefit the university's cash-strapped athletic department, but now officials are trying to recoup the $200,000 paid to local promoter Bob Peyton.
